The law of Twitter marketing success lies in being social. Your focus should be on interacting with the community and being social rather than on business if you want to achieve good results. Twitter allows people to connect with each other, so sending sales messages to your followers one after another will make them un-follow you and get off your list. This doesn't mean that you can't send any offers; of course you can, but make sure they form only a small percentage of all the tweets you're sending. You need to keep them under 10 percent. All your other tweets need to offer value through good, usable information. Consistency in tweeting is key when first starting out with Twitter. This way you can prove you are active to your followers.

With a resource of this magnitude, there is virtually unlimited potential to use it for increasing your online visibility and profits. It's especially important on Twitter to realize that everything you say is public, so it's best to be honest and ethical and build your reputation.
